Thanks Wim. 1880s would seem about right. At least it doesn't seem to have oblong pins, which you sometimes encounter on those old cheap pianos, and which I hate! It's a spring and loop action I see. In my experience they never feel nice. I wonder if the owner understands that that piano was a cheap and nasty model even when it was brand new? In that era there were so many small workshops in England churning out cheap poorly-made pianos for the newly emerging lower middle-class domestic market. There's not much more to be said about that piano, except that it should probably have been burnt sixty years ago! But I come across plenty like it. Best regards, David .
